What a Wonderful World--Marycristy


The stiff and wild grass so gracefully caresses my rough calloused skin. The cool and reckless air trashes upon my face and travels throughout my untamed hair. Life is so stagnant at the moment and yet nature keeps its dispute with everything that her fingertips can grasp unto. My eyelids open to the warm inviting sight of the painted red sky, the hue becoming darker the closer that it reaches toward heaven. I slowly lift my aching torso from the cold Earth as I gradually digest the blush colored images that appear before me. 

It's the most wonderful thing to see the life through rose colored glasses. Everything seems to be so lovely and loving towards each other. The world seems perfect in a rose tinted world. I see people who are rattled with rage due to their greatest passion that lies so deeply embedded in their hearts. Those who are completely lost and unaware of what to do next, yet so optimistic that whatever shall come next will be the next step to a joyous life. People that have to easily and terribly fallen in love, aware that it’s all too much and fast to ever last. Children laughing and crying, so unaware that they will all grow up to learn so much of this world through wonderful experiences. The wistful hope from a mother to her child that they grow to be healthy and happy individuals throughout their entire life. The grin on peoples faces when the crisp autumn air smells of cinnamon and vanilla. The feeling that families get when their loved ones get to come home on a holiday. The overwhelming joy of men and women who have won the tremendous battle of cancer and will continue to live their greatest life. As well as humanity coming to the realization that it is just a wonderful world that we live in. 

As much as the rose colored glasses are a wonderful way to view the world, but is so unrealistic. You are able to face cold difficult reality of the world. Cause when you are wearing rose colored glasses all of the red flags just look like normal flags. There are people acting upon rage and fear out of hatred for the unknown. Jealousy out of not acknowledging the small beautiful things that are in their life but focusing negative energy on looking on what others have. Young ones acting out irrationally just because they were never taught how to deal with their emotions in a healthy manner. Men and women actively ignoring the abusive nature in their relationships out of horror of being alone. People misusing various substances to numb whatever is left in their body and soul just to put of actually dealing with their issues. The pure joy of evil when a weak innocent person succumbs to the darkness of the world. The deep strange instinct that humans have to be self destructive and destructive towards all of humanity.The pure evil nature that taints humanity, unwilling to stop injecting poison in human institutions .But most of all i see fear in the eyes of these humans, these people are fully aware of their fate. Yet they stay here so steadfast and stoic. People are fully aware of the negative and horrible things that occur in life, but they continue on. Hopefully marching and looking up at the sky to see the free spirited clouds dancing away and only to be like them and follow the example.

...and they are all right.

Why waste the time that we have on this earth falling into the dark depressive manners of life? 

Why not make the effort to smile even if we are having a bad day and make another persons day wonderful? 

Why not participate in the worlds greatest symphony that we call life? Why not appreciate the beautiful Earth that we grace?

Why
not try to live the best life that we ever can? 

...but what do i know. 

I am simply just an observer of life. I never take the chance to actually experience wonderful things in my life. But the effort it still there, and will continue to be there and that makes all the difference. So for now i will continue to sit back and watch the world go by for now, and maybe one day i will participate in the joyous things in life.

  12. This is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever read. You have a very rich and vivid vocabulary, and a rich and vivid sense of the world. You expertly captivated the duality between the wonders and woes that the world has to offer. The overall message is very inspiring -- to LIVE. Experience life for what it is, the good and the bad, not dwelling on either for too long. Whether being an observer or someone who experiences, life still has so much to offer.

  17. Your piece was encouraging! I really enjoyed reading it. It helped me to realize that I should appreciate the better things about life, rather than letting the negative completely cloud my view. Stories like this that encourage a positive change in people's lives are the best kinds.

  18. Your ability to transfer the reader into your world is so powerful by the way you write. You make the reader feel completely apart of your view especially with such strong imagery and emotion that you put into it. It's an important reminder that everyone stop and take a moment to think about what you wrote about in their daily lives because it so easy to lose track of the beautiful things in this world. I loved it. -Sasha Hodder

From the start using the vocabulary and the way you describe each word as its own tone and has its own meaning to it makes the description beautiful because it talks about nature in a way that I can imagine it in my mind!
